Development of redox-active pincer ligands for Co(II) that display base-dependent nuclearity Público
May, Philip Scott (2010)
Abstract
Pincer ligands offer an opportunity for exploring coordination
geometry due to the
extreme variability in ligand design. Past research with amidate
ligands has focused on
tripodal tetradentate ligand systems, and this work investigates
the coordination
chemistry of the pincer analogs of these systems. The NNN pincer
ligands reported here
are of the form NH(o-PhNHC(O)R)2 (R = iPr,
tBu) and have been complexed with Co(II)
metal ions. Structures for experiments involving the ligand when R
= tBu have yet to be
obtained. When R = iPr, the complexes produced have been
a dinuclear dimeric complex
with a Co2N2 diamond-core structure when the
ligand is treated with 3.1 equivalents of
base, and a monomeric complex with a 2:1 ligand:metal ration when
the ligand is treated
with 2.1 equivalents of base. The dimeric complex has a relatively
rare geometry, as the
Co2N2 diamond-core is not often seen with
amidate ligands. The monomeric complex
has unique electrochemical properties, demonstrating four
electrochemical events with
only one cobalt center. These complexes offer great opportunities
and possibilities in the
area of coordination chemistry and catalysis.
